What are Summative Assessments | ELN Blog

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Summative assessment is a tool to evaluate the student's learning throughout the academic year or a program that they are pursuing. The learning is compared against a set standard or benchmark. These assessments mostly have a high point value or carry the most weightage in the overall grade.

What is it?

Diagnostic assessments could also be called pre-assessment.  They usually occur before teaching happens and are usually never graded.  They find out what the students already know (or don't) and what they probably would be able to do in the future.  Could also be used to find out student interests, learning type, and preferences.

Why is it used?

They are usually done to find out the students' individual strengths, weaknesses, what they may or may not know about the topic.  It is used as a benchmark to determine if the students are ready for the next level.  Could be in the form of classroom discussions, Short quizzes, etc, just to check their understanding before things go up a notch.

• What is it?

Assessments for learning can be referred to as formative assessment, but they could also include diagnostic assessments. This type of assessment usually takes place during the lesson, while the students are learning, although in the case of diagnostic assessments this could be done even before the learning process begins.

• Why is it used?

Assessments for learning can be an effective way for teachers to get a clear idea of students' learning and understanding as the lesson is being taught. This type of assessment can give teachers crucial information about the students' knowledge as they're learning. This information can then be used by the teacher to change or adapt their teaching (i.e. classroom management, lesson plans, activities, tasks' level of difficulty, etc).

Assessments for learning may give teachers vital information throughout the lesson, such as:

· Do most students understand what's being taught?
· Do students find this lesson too easy? Too difficult?
· What is the students' main struggle in this lesson?

Assessment for learning seems to help students improve rather than just achieve a higher mark in their final test or exam.
